Chapter 329: Running for Federal Parliament
Chapter 329: Running for Federal Parliament
Rotten's words not only stunned Lisa, but also made Itas beside her very curious.
"There will be a general election next year. I think we can let your mother's Populist Party compete for a federal seat and try to win one," said Roton.
"Wow?" Lisa sat up suddenly when she heard this.
Because Lisa sat up suddenly, her chest shook violently twice, which made Rotten's eyes light up and he immediately stretched out his claws.
Lisa rolled her eyes at Rotten, then lay back down beside him, letting him do whatever he wanted.
"That's a federal congressman?" Lisa said.
She still found it a little unbelievable.
Her mother is now a member of parliament for Mabang, and she was appointed as a substitute after a previous member of parliament was dismissed.
In her opinion, her mother had a relatively good chance of running for the Mabang parliamentarian this time, but she had never thought about running for federal parliamentarian.
"Yes, federal congressman, what's wrong? Is it not possible?" Roton asked with a smile.
"Isn't this too difficult?" Lisa said.
"The Civilian Party has been developing very well recently. Brother Rotun said it's okay, so I think there will be no problem." Itas said.
"I heard from my mother that our development in the state is okay, but our influence outside the state is still not enough," said Lisa.
The People's Party is now quite famous in Mabang. It cannot be said to be the largest political party in the area, but it is also very close.
For a political party that has only been established for a few years, this speed of development is already very astonishing.
Although a large state like Maharashtra has the opportunity to win some seats in the federal parliament by relying on voters in one area, the competition here is also fierce.
Generally speaking, if you want to get a seat in the federal parliament, in addition to the votes of your own state, it is best to add some votes from other states, so that you can be more secure.
"Then increase our influence outside the country." Rotten said with a smile.
"It's not that easy," Lisa sighed. "Besides, my mother said her status and caste are a bit awkward. People from other countries don't really recognize her."
She still knew some of the ins and outs of this matter. After all, her mother was involved in politics and she often heard her mother mention these things.
The People's Party speaks for the lower castes and the poor.
Lisa's family is a high-caste Kshatriya, and this caste is indeed a bit embarrassing.
In Harreg, even in the county, the low-caste people there recognized Lisa's mother.
Because Lisa's mother had a popular base there, she did win a lot of benefits for the low-caste poor.
People don't care so much about her caste.
But outside, people don't know that much about Lisa's mother.
The fact that the chairman of the People's Party is a woman of a high caste has caused some concerns among people outside.
How could they believe that a high caste person would speak up for a low caste person?
Therefore, the influence of the People's Party outside the county quickly weakened.
Because of this incident, Lisa's mother considered giving the position of chairman of the Civilian Party to Vice Chairman Reha.
After all, Reha is a Dalit and caste has advantages.
However, this matter has not yet been finalized.
Because Roton had considered it.
"Then we can find some people who are recognized by the people to join the Civilian Party." Rotten said with a smile.
"It's not easy," Lisa said. "Influential people are usually drawn to the big political parties. The Populist Party isn't enough to attract them."
"Aren't you the same?" Rotten laughed.
"We?" Lisa and Itas were stunned.
"That's right, you're all celebrities, especially Itas. Your fame is growing, and you have a huge fan base. How can you not capitalize on this advantage?" Roden said. "Lisa, you're not bad either. You can definitely rally your fans and win their support."
Itas is definitely more famous than Lisa, but Lisa's fame is getting bigger and bigger. With the support of the company, and her image, temperament and acting skills, several of the movies she starred in were very successful, and she has more and more fans.
Although Itas is not one of the top stars in Bollywood yet, she is still at the level below the top, which is already very rare.
Such stars have a huge fan base.
In Indian politics, celebrities are very popular. Whether they form their own political party to run for election or join other political parties, it is a very good choice.
Because celebrities bring their own traffic.
Those big stars have huge fan bases, which are huge voting bases.
Using these fans' votes can propel them into federal seats.
So Rotun set his sights on the fans of the two women.
Of course, Rawdon hadn't said anything yet.
That is, Itas is of low caste, and this makes her more likely to get support from the large low caste poor group than Lisa.
"Can we do it?" Lisa asked with excitement on her face.
She really hadn't thought about such a thing.
Itas's face was also filled with anticipation.
"Why not?" Roton laughed. "I believe that with your appeal, I wouldn't say you can get all your fans to support you, but if you can get even 10% or 20% of them to support you, that would be a huge vote. Winning a federal seat wouldn't be a problem, and we'll strive to get a few more."
The two women looked excited.
The Awami Party's main influence is now in Maharashtra, and almost in Pune. The scope is not large. Even if all the people here vote for the Awami Party, it is still not enough to run for federal parliament.
Not to mention, there are other political parties competing.
So they can only go to other states to compete for more votes.
"I think this is a good idea." Lisa said happily.
"Then let's join the Common People's Party," Itas said. "But Brother Rotten, we don't know much about politics."
"I've made up my mind. You will be mainly responsible for canvassing votes. You don't have to worry about other matters. I will find another candidate." Roton said with a smile.
These words made Itas secretly relieved. If Roton asked them to be responsible for the operation of the Civilian Party, she would not be able to do it.
"Lisa, your mother's problem does need to be considered. I think the chairman's position will need to be changed at that time. Your mother's side~~" "There is no problem on my mother's side. She originally wanted to give the position to Ruiha." Lisa said.
"Neither can Reha," said Rotten.
Ruiha's abilities are limited, so it's no problem for you to ask him to recruit people to fight or deal with someone secretly.
He is in charge of some of the party's armed forces.
After all, there is competition between political parties, which will lead to conflicts and they need some thugs of their own.
This is what Ruihua is best at.
Let him run a political party?
He doesn't have that ability.
Although he was the vice chairman before, he basically did not care about the internal affairs of the People's Party.
These matters are basically handled by Lisa's mother.
"Ah? Then who will take the chairman position?" Lisa asked curiously.
"I still have to convince her about this," said Rawdon.
"Still keeping it a secret?" Lisa was a little disappointed.
"You'll know when the time comes. No need to rush." Itas said with a smile.
In Rotten's mind, the most suitable candidate for the Civilian Party is Kanina. She is a lawyer and is quite familiar with politics.
Her career is actually suitable for being a politician.
With the identity of a politician, such as becoming a member of parliament, her voice in the legal community will be even louder. In short, this is a mutual benefit that will give Kanina's future career a boost.
Rotun was not confident in handing over a political party like the Civilian Party to other people.
Moreover, Roton is now seizing the political correctness in the Indian officialdom to expand his own advantages.
Low caste, female.
Kanina is very suitable for both aspects, so she is the best candidate.
In Roton's opinion, the People's Party may not be able to become a major national political party in the future, but it can at least occupy some seats in the Federal Parliament.
As long as you have a seat, you have a say.
Of course, in the next two terms, the People's Party became the ruling party with more than half of the seats in parliament. It was almost the only dominant party with absolute say, so the need for an alliance party was not that great.
Because their party alone has more than half of the seats, there is no need to form an alliance with other parties like the Congress Party does now to guarantee a majority of seats.
However, by the time of the third Lao Sin Dynasty election, the People's Party no longer had a majority of seats in parliament, so the seats of the coalition parties became very important.
Now the Civilian Party is considered an ally of the People's Party, and we will develop it slowly from now on.
Roton had never thought about becoming the ruling party, and it was not very realistic.
As long as you ensure that your party has a certain strength and can get more seats in the federal parliament, those major parties will extend olive branches to you.
Rotun needs support from all kinds of forces. He is a civil servant and it is impossible for him to resign and form a political party.
Therefore, the political parties must hand over the power to people they trust.
This will be his power in the future.
Moreover, with his influence among the people, he can also support the People's Party.
Rodan's identity as a Vaisya, coupled with his legendary police career, can be said to be a huge boost to the People's Party.
Of course, these cannot be done openly, but if he wants to provide help to the Civilian Party, he can still do it, and there are many ways to do it.
For example, with his identity as a police officer, or even as a commissioner of the Central Bureau of Investigation, he could easily crack down on some of the Civilian Party's competitors.
None of these politicians are clean.
As long as they want to investigate, no one can escape.
Lisa conveyed Roton's words to her mother, and her mother had no problem with it.
After all, her mother also realized that her role as chairman of the People's Party restricted the development of the Party.
Of course, she supported Luoton's suggestion.
My daughter is a star, so I can really take advantage of her.
Moreover, Itas is more famous than his daughter. Having two major stars join means that more votes can be won.
However, Luoton said that he would look for a new chairman, and she was looking forward to it.
She knew everything about her daughter's current relationship with Rotten.
I also know that Roton has other women, and that Itas should be one of them.
She could tell.
However, she was puzzled by the fact that her daughter had a good relationship with Itas.
When she first found out, she was still very depressed.
How could my daughter be with a man who has several women?
In the end, it was Lisa who convinced her parents.
She said that she had chosen the path of a star and did not expect anything like marriage.
Besides, when a star gets married, it basically means the end of his or her acting career, and she doesn't want this outcome.
Maintaining this kind of relationship with Rotun now is actually the best.
Lisa's mother knew that her family and Lisa's current situation were all thanks to Rotten.
Later she realized that her daughter had grown up and had her own ideas.
In that case, let her do as she pleases.
After all, he still has a son, Luo Dun, and his family has great hope for the future of his son.
The idea of favoring boys over girls still exists.
